Superman Fights China Pirates

To combat DVD piracy in China, CAV Warner Home Entertainment announced that it is distributing DVDs of Superman Returns there two months ahead of the rest of the world, Variety reported. The U.S. DVD release is slated for Nov. 28.

The Chinese disc's priced at between $1.80 and $2.80, comparable to pirated prices, with an encryption technology that makes it very difficult to produce a DVD-quality copy, the trade paper reported. It will be available in more than 8,000 outlets, thousands of which had previously sold only illegally copied Hollywood films.

Pirate DVDs of hit movies are frequently on sale in China within hours of, or indeed long before, their legal equivalents in the West.

CAV Warner Home Entertainment, a joint entertainment distribution venture between Warner Home Video and China Audio Video, said it had released Superman's latest incarnation on Mandarin language-only DVDs.

Magaling din yung nakaisip na atleast hindi bibili yung ibang tao kasi Mandarin language lang.  hehehe.

What if lumabas ganyan dito pero Tagalog lang for P100 ea, Bibili kayo?

i was in beijing last week and i saw copies of those! they were being sold in a supermarket so malamang hindi fake yung nakita ko but i thought they might have been at the time coz of the price mga RMB14.00 ata yun kaya nagdalawang isip ako.

another thing is the ones i saw didnt have slipcases. parang flat cardboard lang but the printing was very good. it must be one of the reasons they can sell it for so cheap! buti na lang pala hindi ko binili coz i can't speak mandarin

Kahit full-priced, kung maglabas sila, bibili ako ng Tagalog Superman Returns for its collectibility...

At masarap pag-tripan yun!

Maybe the first few Tagalog releases, but once the novelty wears off...

Although I doubt it, the VCD/DVD market here is probably too small to cover the cost of voice actors that is needed to do the redubbing... 

Oh, I would really like to see those Tagalog lyrics in Sound of Music set to music and sung.

But you know, they could...Use the English track but put the Tagalog Subtitle permanently on screen.   Or the C Interactive way... DVD5 (those are Original DVDs, as are Magnavision P150 budget line).  Now, that would be a downer...

what if they'll hire pinoydvd members to do the dubbing? will any of you do it for free or for a very minimal TF? anyway, your names will be credited naman

Free? I'd even pay them to let me do Lex Luthor.
